VIC FIRTH ARTIST CHRIS COLEMAN

A 1999 graduate with honors from the
Drummer's Collective, Chris Coleman won the 2001 National
Drum Competition sponsored by Guitar Center, which
hosted over 30,000 competing musicians. From GC's
high profile launching pad, Chris has become an in-demand
sessions artist, having toured extensively with Creflo
Dollar Ministries and Israel Houghton, and can be heard
on many gospel recordings, including titles
from Bishop Eddie Long and William Murphy Ministries,
among others.

In 2003, Chris became a rhythmical force
behind the explosive praise and worship group "Israel
and New Breed" and performed on Israel's Billboard
hit CD and DVD releases "Live
From Another Level".

Recently, Coleman has reached mainstream audiences
with his performances with R&B artist Rachelle Ferrell and
is currently touring with Chaka Khan, as well as with his own band
"The Paradigm".

In addition to a hefty clinic schedule, Chris has
participated in the 2005 and 2006 "Drummers
4 Jesus"
events. Chris' instructional DVD entitled "Dynamic Drumming
Vol. 3; Playing with Precision and Power" was recently released
through DrumWorks Inc.
